## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CL010-045: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL010-045----. Situated on fairly level ground in an area of dense hazel scrub. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 20m E-W) defined by a modern drystone wall (Wth 0.5-0.7m). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 21 March 2016
- CL011-001: Road - road/trackway, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-001----. Indicated intermittently on the 1897 OS 25-inch plan and on the later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Marked and named ‘Sir Donat’s Road’ on Robinson’s 1977 two-inch map of the uplands of North-West Clare. This a 17th-century road built under the auspices of Donat O’Brien and described by Westropp (1900, 407) as a long road or lane-way which extended from Leamaneh Castle (CL016-032003-) ‘for many miles eastward, and bears in several places the name “Sir Donat’s-road”’. The section of road recorded in Kiltacky More townland ran NW-SE for c. 400m, meeting the modern road at its SE end opposite a church (CL011-003001-) and graveyard (CL011-003002-). Its route now crosses improved pasture along the NE edge of exposed limestone pavement and no visible surface trace survives.

- CL011-002001: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-002001-. In a wet, shallow NE-SW oriented basin in rough pasture within a semi-karst landscape. Indicated and named ‘Toberinneenboy’ on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This neglected holy well comprises a bedrock depression (L 1m; Wth 0.8m; D 0.6m), in which water is c. 0.2m deep. There is a step down to the well at the E. The well lies within an enclosure (int. dims. 3.8m E-W; 3.3m N-S) defined by the remains of a drystone wall which incorporates large boulders (L 0.8m; H 0.4-0.6m). There are mature hazel, whitethorn and ash trees within the enclosure, and around it are more trees and boulders. 3.5m to the NE is a tree-lined NW-SE field wall. There is a turlough c. 35m to the ESE, and a fulacht fia (CL011-002002-) c. 186m to the SSW. The OS Letters of 1839 recorded a tradition that this well was dedicated to St Inneboy, ‘a celebrated Dalcassian Virgin, the Patron of Killineeboy, whose memory was celebrated there on the 29th December and to whom many wells throughout this County are sacred’ (Comber 1997, 41). More recently the well appears to have been dedicated to St Colman (Brew 1998, 57). Brew (ibid.) recounted a tradition that there was once a road between this well and a nearby medieval church (CL011-003001-) which lies c. 355m to the NE.

- CL011-002002: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-002002-. In pasture at the S end of a shallow basin which extends to the NE, the location marked ‘Liable to Floods’ on OS historic mapping. Described by Martin Ryan (1966-1967) and reported to the National Monuments Service in 1996 by Tom Coffey. This large horseshoe-shaped fulacht fia (16.4m NE-SW; 16.4m NW-SE) is defined by a broad, grass-covered bank (Wth 5.9-7.8m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 0.3-1.5m) of burnt and heat-shattered stones which is open towards the SW, and is most substantial at SE. There is a large boulder embedded in the bank at the SW. In the centre is a long, oval-shaped trough area (8.7m NE-SW, 2.1m NW-SE) which extends to the SW perimeter. A small, grass-covered rectangular area (3.5m NW-SE; 2m NE-SW) of the bank has been dug into at SSE, from which a channel (2.5m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW) extends NW into the central trough area. There is a holy well (CL011-002001-) c. 186m to the NNE. See attached image: CL011-002002- View of monument from SW. Reference: Ryan, M. 1966-1967 Fulachta fiadha near Killanaboy, Co. Clare.

- CL011-003001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-003001-. Situated in the NW part of an associated graveyard (CL011-003002-), on rock outcrop on an E-facing slope in undulating low-lying semi-karst pastureland. Indicated and named ‘Church (in Ruins)’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Named ‘Cill Taice – Early Christian ch.’ on Robinson’s (1977) map. This poorly preserved L-shaped church (9m N-S; 5.3m E-W (Large 2011)) is represented only by its long ivy-covered E wall (L c. 8m; max. H 3m), against both faces of which rubble is piled. There is a square-headed window in this wall (Large 2011). Also upstanding is the E end of the N wall (L 4m), similarly obscured by rubble and ivy. Only the foundations of the other walls survive (ibid.). The interior is overgrown. Already in a mostly collapsed state when described in the OS Letters of 1839, no details of the church were observed except its masonry, ‘which certainly looks very old’ (Comber 1997, 41). Brew (1998, 57) recounted a tradition that there was once a road between this church and a nearby well (CL011-002001-) which lies c. 355m to the SW.

- CL011-003002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL011-003002-. On rock outcrop (H c. 2m) on an E-facing slope in undulating low-lying semi-karst pastureland. Indicated and named ‘Grave Yard’ on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This irregular trapezoidal graveyard (50m NW-SE; 38m NE-SW) is enclosed by a stone wall, with an entrance along the road at SW. The headstones all date from c. 1850 to the present, although there are some plain grave-markers. A road runs NW-SE immediately outside the SW wall of the graveyard, and appears to have been cut into the bedrock in the modern era. There is a church (CL011-003001-) in the NW part of the graveyard.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
